That is what I love about the faverolles. The one thing I am going to focus on with my breeding program is that the ameracochins will have the docile personality like a faverolles.

Still trying to figure out how to use the new system!!

Wayne we moved from a large 3 bedroom 2 bath into a 14x70 trailer. We did lose our son to college (Go Sooners) so it is just me the wife and the Boxer dog. It is amazing how much crap you can have in a big house. I had to enclose a garage to store stuff in, and have got rid of lots too. When son was home for Christmas break (he went back today, I'm sad) it did get a little claustrophobic in here with 3 and his bedroom is also my leather room so was no leather pounding for the last month. Its growing on me. I can help take care of my folks here, and they are at the age and health they both need some help. Up side is Bills are cheaper, and it is the house my grandma lived in till she passed, so it is payed for. Also setting on the 5 acres I grew up on with lots of out buildings and such. Of course dad has been in poor health for years and all the buildings are in need of much repair. So aside from being disabled where I cant do a lot, and broke it is the perfect place. That's ironic, when I finally get a place I can do something on I don't feel like it most of the time and if I did I cant afford it.

But in time I plan on having a large garden, a huge chicken ranch, a couple three goats to milk etc. Time will tell.

Guy's tip of the Day
​

If you have a large rooster or an aggressive rooster towards hens and other roosters. It would be very practical to trim his spurs. This is best done with a helper and a nice spur saw. But I have used dykes (wire cutting pliers) before to do it. Do not trim as far back as where the spur attaches to the leg, it would be like cutting your finger nail way down in the quick. Will bleed and is pain full. Just about half the distant from the tip is good. If it is trimmed proper and square it will make it allot easier on them hens, roosters and maybe your leg sometime.

When I twist a spur off, there is a sharp spur beneath the old spur sheath. If I cut the newly exposed spur straight across, how will that affect the future spur sheath that is bound to form?

Why not put an inline pump on it like they used to have, instead of going through all that work?

ROFLMAO!!!! He looks like the Seraminator! You'd love Faverolles. They come in bantams also but I don't don't what the bantam personality is like.
